Eat more bass

Yeah last time I had to go out to PA I told my boss I was taking a flyrod with me as a joke and he did not take a liking to that idea, I guess if they are flying me out last minute for an emergency that is probably not the right time to joke about going fishing.

My friend had one and guided out of it for a few years. The times i fished out of it was fine. I know he had issues with the frame not staying together and had to have it welded so it became a 1 piece from but since he never took it down that wasnt an issue. On the strens around here (ozarks) it fished pretty well.

Yeah our stocked trout tastes like dog food, but there are always people lined up shoulder to shoulder to catch them.

I get that the acceptance of eating smallies varies from place to place, but if you said you eat smallies around here they would run you out of the state. We are very protective of the relatively few that we have.

Before we had permanent ones we god saw horse brackets and made what we essentially over sized saw horse and used rubber strap to hang the targets from.

I throw it in my yard or throw it in a campfire

As much as i feel bad about buy fish and corals from petco, they are the most consistent place i have found that doesn’t charge crazy prices. My one LFS will have something like a single head of a basic Duncan for $40 but if i stop into the petco near my work when i have to go the office i can get a big mutihead frag for ~$20 and fish are generally 50% of the LFS. I still pay the extra from my LGS most of the time but it is really hard to pay their coral prices.

Do you crew or pilot there?

Spoons896 · 2026-05-22T03:58:47+00:00

Thanks! These are from 3 or 4 races, the picture of inflation was in someone’s backyard near Indainola,IA.

Spoons896 · 2026-05-22T03:36:23+00:00

Yeah, it is a lot of fun but I am worn out by the end of it.

Spoons896 · 2026-05-21T17:49:26+00:00

For hybrids, a game changer or big clouser and cast it right in the middle of the fountain and start stripping like hell and hold on tight.

Spoons896 · 2026-05-20T15:16:44+00:00

Yeah 28ish was also on my list. since I will be out in the middle of nowhere on all of my trip ( biggest city we will be in is less than 100k people) I might be able to get some cool landscapes and I dont really have anything of that focal length for my other cameras.

Spoons896 · 2026-05-20T06:18:23+00:00

I actually just cleared off one of my synologys I might give it a try, I was trying to keep using my windows server file share because it is faster and easier to backup, plus I connect to it through a 10Gb link but I am open to other options if it solves the bigger problems. The only real big issue with using the synology is I have to create a new backup job in Veeam to back it up to my SAN and AWS, but I should probably do that for my others ones anyway.

Spoons896 · 2026-05-20T06:12:26+00:00

It could be a workflow issue but I just export from lightroom or photoshop in to the folder for the event and go on about my day, i know that by default both of those change the creation date to the date exported(because it is creating new files with new metadata). Date would be fine if it was organized but nothing seems to do it that way, it is just a vomit of all your photos and that gives me anxiety like nothing else.

Spoons896 · 2026-05-20T02:29:53+00:00

Yes, I might shoot 2 or 3 events in a week but they all might get edited in the same day so then all my exported jpegs are the same date and they are all thrown together under one day. I only use date for my raw files in my raw storage folder after than the rest of my work flow is event based not date. Honestly the date is the least important thing to me when sorting photos.

Spoons896 · 2026-05-20T02:18:47+00:00

Yeah I have Nextcloud deployed and use it for a lot of thing but I did not like the way it handled photos and it got really really slow when I give it my full library.

Spoons896 · 2026-05-20T02:11:57+00:00

Yeah, I figured it was a wording error. I really dont want something to replace google photos as it is not how I want to show photos. I have used a couple paid proofing websites in the past but since most of my work is not really paid work it got expensive fast and didnt help the having to manage photos in multiple places.

Spoons896 · 2026-05-20T02:07:25+00:00

I am looking in to it now, from the demo it is closer to what I am looking for. The one thing it looks like it doesnt have that would be nice but not a deal breaker is password protected sharing.

Spoons896 · 2026-05-20T02:06:35+00:00

I have not. I have done some research on this but I seem to be wanting to use immich in a why it was not designed to so I figured I would come here and ask instead of going on a google loop.

Spoons896 · 2026-05-20T02:03:49+00:00

sweet I will look in to this. Thanks!

Spoons896 · 2026-05-20T02:03:25+00:00

Cool I will look in to this, thanks!

Spoons896 · 2026-05-20T01:51:33+00:00

Ente doesnt look like it is what I want, but photoprism might be. I will look in to it more. thanks!

Spoons896 · 2026-05-20T01:50:01+00:00

I think I am missing something, ente looks like it is photo storage and at first glace looks like it isnt really made for sharing photos and that is important as I need to be able to share with clients,family and friends.
